I have my favorite biscuit recipe. I believe we all do. As for me, this Butter Swim Biscuits recipe is my top pick. These biscuits are baked in butter until soft, moist, and flaky with crispy edges. To make these delicious biscuits all we need are a few basic ingredients; butter and buttermilk along with other pantry essentials. I love these biscuits to serve for breakfast with jam. Also excellent for soaking all the savory flavors of stews and chilis.
I especially love the light and flaky texture of these biscuits. Once baked these biscuits end up soft, moist, and packed with flavor. The dough swims in butter that steams the dough as it bakes. This traps a pocket of air inside that once the dough cools off. This guarantees the best textures that remind me of croissants, except these biscuits are low-maintenance!
If you love simple recipes that you can easily throw together at home. This biscuit recipe is a must! I assure you that these biscuits would be the most delicious and fluffy biscuits you’ll ever make!
